Thank you so much! Super glad you like it :)

Heya - yep, that's an absolutely valid alternative! Here I wanted to show how to make each node as self-sustained as possible, to help with the modularity, but in most cases a global "blackboard" (= big shared storage of variables) works just fine and is easier to use ;) Cheers!

Thank you so much for the kind comment - and for offering to collab! I'm absolutely keeping your name on my list, I'm really hoping that if the game works a bit I'll get to work with other creators like you to fill the music database ;) Cheers!

Thank you so much for the kind comment, I'm super glad you find the game nice and interesting! :)

Thanks for the kind comment, I'm glad you liked the video! And I completely agree about the card - I've improved my 'style' since then to try and not gloss over this kind of steps as much :) Cheers!

Heya! Mmh, that's a really interesting question! I think you can't do that 'as-is' in Godot... but you could probably setup some custom tool by: - defining a custom resource type (= custom data structure) with the PackedScenes + child spots - perhaps creating a custom inspector for it to make it easier to configure in the editor - code a script that uses this type of objects and provides a simple API (maybe even an autoload so that it can be called from anywhere in the scene) And then if you package all this as an addon, you could basically have a reusable tool that people can use to create 'precise' scene transitions. So yeah, you'd indeed need to code something up at first, but then I guess it can be 'toolified' properly to allow non-devs to do that ;) Hope it answers the question, cheers!

@@minapecheux thanks, you are the only person to fully grasp what's at stake!

Thank you so much for the kind comment! Yup, the undo/redo feature is definitely on my to-do list, and it's *definitely missing*... :D Hopefully I'll get to work on that in the weeks to come before the release ;) Cheers!

Haha yep sorry that's a video I did a while ago, when I had more amateur tools... and skills^^ But glad you liked the tutorial nonetheless! :)

@@minapecheux its all good. this helped me a good bit in understanding instantiate

Thank you for the kind comment, I'm glad you liked the tutorial! :)

Thanks for your kind comment, and super glad you like my content! :) For your use case, I'm wondering if Godot's default character controller doesn't do that directly, actually... you may want to try the following: - select your CharacterBody3D node - attach a script on it - make sure to use the Character Movement template - but don't change anything in it for now, and just try out the arrow keys! Then if it's what you want, you can replace the default UI input actions in the code with your own, but perhaps this will give you the horizontal movement you want ;) Hope it helps, cheers!

@@minapecheux I think I didn't explain my problem very well. I did what you said and created a completely new project, stuck my character in it, then just used the Character movement template script. My character still doesn't face the direction he's moving. I think it may be a 'lerp_angle' problem? Sorry, I'm quite new to 3D.

Or even a Basis.LookingAt(direction) is needed somewhere?

@@TomPinnock Heya - my bad, I misunderstood your question! So in your case, I believe you can do the following: - keep the default template script as-is for the base movement - but add a LookAt call to the point in front of your character, based on its current forward velocity So after your movement vector computation, you'd add something like: LookAt(GlobalPosition + GlobalTransform.Basis.Z); (It might be -GlobalTransform.Basis.Z, depending on the rotation of your mesh!) I haven't tested it, but I think this should force your character to look to this virtual anchor in front of it, based on the direction of its current movement vector - and by default, Godot uses the global up vector for a LookAt, so it shouldn't add any weird up/down angle... Hope it helps, cheers!

@@minapecheux Thanks Mina, I realise I'm hogging the replies area and taking up too much of your time. Neither of those lines worked, and I think I'm too stupid to work what they do, let alone what's wrong with them. I think I'll try again in 2D, to get something working. :) Thanks for the help anyway!

Heya! Hmm, honestly I'm not exactly sure... ^^ There may be some differences in implementation, or perhaps it's more a question of usage and developer preferences? ;) Cheers!

Thanks! Glad you liked the video! :)

Heya, @R.Daneel - though I truly appreciate your support, I'd like you to please avoid disrespecting other's comments - thanks in advance :) @EarnestWilliamsGeofferic - to each their own! I hope you'll find the tool you like and get tutorials for this one when need be :) Cheers!

Thank you very much! :)

Thanks for the kind comment, I'm glad the tutorial was useful! Yup, multiplayer is definitely on my to-do list but I haven't gotten around to making a clear and concise tuto on that yet ^^ hopefully I'll be able to work on it soon-ish ;) Cheers!

Thank you so much, super glad you like the vibe and the core gameplay idea! Yup I completely agree that finding that "one good idea" is so hard... with Match 'Em, I think I found something interesting, albeit not revolutionary ^^ But I'm always fascinated when (especially indie) games just manage to offer you a groundbreaking idea that no one really thought of this way before! :) Anyway - good luck on your projects, hope you'll find the idea that you really like ;) Cheers!

Heya, as I mentioned in my previous answer to your comment on the last video, I am also saddened by the situation and the way this issue was handled by the Godot CM. However, I would like to kindly ask you to not bring up this topic every time - I do not wish my channel to be about these bad politics, but rather keep it focused on game dev ;) I hope you understand (and again I'm sorry you, like so many of us Godot game devs, is suffering from this bad momentum :(), cheers! :)

​@@minapecheuxI think this guy just wants the attention... better to not acknowledge his drama :/

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked the cover! (Yup, I tend to dabble and try various things, even though TH-cam doesn't like it when you get out of your niche ^^)

Wow, thank you so much! I'm super glad you liked the cover :) (The original gave such a unique vibe to the Carmilla universe, I love it!)

@@minapecheux thats awesome. It means a lot to me to have been a part of Carmilla in my own little way. Thanks for listening 😊

@@SolesSongs As someone who's passionate about media music, I'm always impressed when artists manage to create a piece that represents a whole vibe like this... (still only at the level of covers for now, my originals and/or MIDI-based orchestral musics don't really make enough sense yet I think ^^). But anyway - thanks again for your kind words, and I wish you the best of luck for your future projects! :) (Btw, I also love the song "Stronger Than You Know" on the channel that you made with Kaitlyn Alexander - just a perfect mix of voices, and the guitar!!)

Merci beaucoup ! :)

Thank you so much for the kind word and the support! Btw, if you're curious, you can actually already check out the playtest for free on Steam (store.steampowered.com/app/3179900/Match_Em/) :) Cheers!

Merci beaucoup ! :)

Thank you so much! Super glad you like the content, and many thanks for your support and your kind words about Match 'Em :)

Thank you so much, glad you liked it! :)

@@minapecheux Yes, great work! :) It was relaxing and somewhat enchanting. . I felt while hearing it , it should be in a series like true detective...

@@mfastuff Wow, thank you!! I'm honoured you think it's True Detective-level worthy :) And super happy you found it so chill ;)

@@minapecheux Cheers! Keep rocking!:)

Thank you very much! :D

Haha perhaps a future project? It would have been a bit ambitious for a first solo game I guess ^^ (But I grew up with those so I'd love to pay tribute to them one day... 😉)

Thank you so much! Glad you like the content :)

It's really sad when this kind of things happens... I agree with a lot of devs who think that Godot or any other soft-related foundation should focus on tech & software news rather than politics. I believe that the wave of account blocking was a "strange" (to keep it light) reaction. Now, again, because I do not want this channel to become about cultural or political debates, I won't dive deeper into my personal thoughts on the topic - but I still believe it's a shame that this type of news can tarnish the image of Godot, and that wrong CM management can be that disrespectful to the community that keeps on supporting and contributing the project :/ All that to say - I'm sorry you, like many other Godot devs including me, feel weird because of this situation. (Tho I do hope that, if you appreciate my work, you'll back it up by wishlisting the game, because I think that's independent of any game engine issues? ^^) Cheers.

Thank you so much! If you want, you can already try it out for free with the playtest ;) Thanks a lot for your kind word and your support, cheers!

Merci beaucoup !! Contente que tu trouves le projet intéressant, et merci pour le soutien, le wishlist et le gentil mot :)

Thanks for your comment, I'm definitely planning on doing some vids on the topic since several people here seem interested ;)

Thank you very much for your support and your kind comment! Hopefully my future game projects will be more your taste ;) And in the meantime, thanks a lot for checking out the content!! Cheers :)

Thank you so much for the support! And btw, don't worry: I have a lot more ideas of games in different genres... so I might work on a project that speaks to you more some day ;)

Thank you so much! And definitely happy you'd be interested in more videos about the full process :) And you're right: doing a mobile version is absolutely on my to-do list... but I don't have enough energy to battle the crazy rules of the app stores at the moment ^^ (and it would also require to give a good thought to some mechanics to see how to transfer them to a touch-based mobile system... but that would be interesting!)
